FOR THE ADAPTABLE
FEMALE CHAMELEON
What arbitrary power is it that
blows the changing wind of
fashion? What whimsical mind
decides the latest shape, size and
colour of that adaprtable chamelon
---woman? Nobody seems to
know. Nobody knew it in the
mid--40’s when hem,lines plum,
meted from knee length to midcalf.
Manufacturers sprung the
New Look on the world and it
was adopted almost overnight by
even the most conservative. Shops
and wholesalers stocked with the
old short versions went bankrupt.
Such sudden changes are no
longer allowed, but the shops
can still be caught out with the
wrong clothes. The m axi revolu-
tion this winter was quite unplanned
by the manufacturers,
who had thought that the long
coats would only be worn by a
few daring extravagants. The extreme
cold affected the scene in
a way that nobody had envisaged
--the maxi was IN. Shops who
buy for a season were badly hitonly
Selfridges was able to cope
unperturbed with the situation,
for they change their stock more
frequently and are better prepared
for sudden changes.
On the whole, however, the
manufacturers can predict with a
fair degree of accuracy what the

prevailing trends will be. Ireland
has to copy England, for though
France is supposed to be the seat
of high fashion, it is English manufacturers
who have the greatest
influence on the masses.
The style for Spring and
Summer ’70 will contain a strong
gypsy, peasant look in dresses and
separates.
For Autumn, the mini coat is
dead. The Midi is in, mid calf
or half knee-cap, with narrow top,
wider at the hem, belted or cut at
the waist. The coat ,dress is again
important. Suits are not strong
story, though there are three main
influences, (a) long skirt with
tunic jacket, (b) long skirt with
blouson jacket and (c) short skirt
with long jacket. Trouser suits are
right in. Knitwear is casual, with
a longer line and close fitting.
The fabrics are moving away
from the dry, crisp look and going
softer~Jersey will be very important.
The colours are changing~
the past three years was a period
of soft, muted colours and for the
next three years they will be more
towards lighter cold colours.
Tweed is right out and it is
mainly the U.S.A. who keep the
Irish tweed industry with a market
for classic, well cut tweeds for the
over 30s~
Romantic
Revival in
Jewellery
You may have seen in Grafton
Street the unassuming showcase
of the Market Ireland shop~in it
is one of the few displays of
modem design I have found to
delight me in Dublin. There are
designs which reflect the fluid
beauty of the past, such as the ring
illustrated which combines the
celtic spiral with the delicate
butterfly design of Art Nouveau,
and the stark beauty of Vincent
Meehan’s design "moon-landing "
which speaks for itself. Personally
my favourite designer for them is
John Fenn, who produces delicately
beautiful jewellery in a timeless
romantic theme. It is represented
in the illustration by the simply
